Name: Dogs
Duration: P00H05M54S
Description: I was pretty god damned miserable; still there's a tinge of redemption in there as usual. This track is the beginning of that motif of the tension of man being an animal but not wanting to acknowledge that he's an animal.

about

I was pretty god damned miserable; still there's a tinge of redemption in there as usual. This track is the beginning of that motif of the tension of man being an animal but not wanting to acknowledge that he's an animal.

lyrics

it’s darkening and something’s wrong, but I will not
leave the city wrapped in song. Turn off my
mind, kill the engine. Everyone wins.
i’m wandering and something’s wrong: why am I
out of sorts where I belong? Laughter spills
from lit windows: it overflows.

The dogs are out in the street
turning down scraps of meat
they’re animals but they won’t eat

Rain is falling all around, and if I
leave the city I will drown. Watch as the
clouds slowly recede. sink into peace.
But I don’t know how to drown, my body
lift me up when I wanna go down. light reflects
from every angle, up we rise. up to the skies. up to the heights.

The dogs are out in the street
turning down scraps of meat
we’re animals but we won’t eat
